Feelings about eating the placenta?

Anyone done it? Anyone planning to do it? If so how? I don't know if I can do it. I've heard great things about the health benefits and SO thinks we should at least try it...I'm thinking...kinda gross..but idk. What do you guys think?

Oh Lordy there have been a couple of heated posts about this already. I hope this one stays civil.

I didn't with ds but I am with this LO. I'm hoping it will help me get my energy back faster including from blood loss and help my milk come in strong. With ds it didn't come in until he was 6 weeks old. We are having it encapsulated by a doula that my friend used. She charges $175.

I'm so squeamish I don't think I could do that. I've seen other mammals eat the placenta directly after birth (no encapsulating there, just a still warm gooey mess) so I personally don't think it's that weird. It's an interesting concept.
